How do I play Playstation 2 games on my computer monitor!?

**Razor Blade** · May 19th, 2003

Hey guys. I heard and saw at some places you can plug your Paystation 2 into your monitor. I heard its for sharper quality etc for playing your games. I need to know what cords/connections/programs ill need and things like that.

I have a TV/OUT on my Video card. In case you need to know that. Thanks

either a vga box or a tv-in/tuner.The tv-out is for use on external display devices tv/hdtv/flat screen, in short a tv-out wont let you display ps2 games on a monitor your gonna need a tv-in for that

**Razor Blade** · May 19th, 2003

Okay how much will one of these cost and are they really worth it? Is there that much of a difference .... ??? Can anyone post a screen of what it can do?

I saw in advertisement, using "tv box" can allow you to play your favourite PS2 games in monitor screen, prolink pixelview is one of the producers of tv box.

Yeah, or a TV card, or a Line Doubler. The first is the best option.
The PS2 VGA box takes the S-Video signal, and is very crisp, but not quite as good as the DC's native one.

voor de DC is een vga box verkrijgbaar die een zeer goeie kwaliteit geeft; vergelijkbaar met een PC spel dat op 640x480 op je monitor draait. Deze kwaliteit is alleen haalbaar op een DC omdat deze van oorsprong al VGA ondersteuning heeft; ps2, xbox en gamecube hebben dat niet.

waaaa anotherone form holland

hmm u mean tv-out on video card or sumthign else cos my video card does has it

hmm dus hoe duur is een vga box ben maar arme vent die te lui is om te gaan werken

Why bother?
The games on the PS2 look better on TV anyway

Sephi · May 25th, 2003

i dont care about ps2 cos i dont have one but
i do wanna know how to plug my dreamcast to my monitor

**Kane** · May 25th, 2003

As I said before. Buy a dreamcast VGA adaptor. They are still readily avaliable everywhere here.

well i think... every 17" and above monitor got serial connector on the back side... (it's usually serial w/ RGB)

well i haven't tried it since i don't own my PSX/PS2
but i think it works fine...

well the problem is... no matter what the screen refresr rate is still @60Hz
since monitor got no auto MAX refresh rate

well CMIIW

**Dark Watcher** · May 25th, 2003

hmm..maybe we should eBay our DC VGA...

To be honest I really don't think that an issue as you don't really notice refresh rate in games. I do on the desktop but I tend to run all my games in 60Hz (50Hz on my PS2)
